Argentina court acquits ex-education secretary on prescription grounds

Argentina's Federal Oral Court No. 5 acquitted former Secretary of Education Guillermo Heisinger, nullifying the arrest warrant issued in July after he failed to appear for sentencing. The acquittal is based on statute of limitations (prescription), a legal technicality that ends prosecution without a verdict on the merits. This is a notable judicial outcome in a corruption-related case, but its broader political or market impact is limited.
